All the talking is nearly over. Fallout: New Vegas is just weeks away.

The perfect game for sci-fi buffs and fans of the apocalypse.

The trailer looks nothing short of brilliant... due to having three kids and a rather hectic life I am still playing the Fallout 3 and dosing myself up with Mentats.

Looks like I will finish Fallout 3 just in time for the new one!

The IMDB Project - #246 Ikiru

By Jaymeetee on Sep 2, 10 10:30 AM

A movie about death and life

Ikiru.jpgYear: 1952
Director: Akira Kurosawa
Imdb rating: 7.9/10

The first subtitled foreign language movie in the list. I really don't mind foreign language films, in fact in some ways I think they make you concentrate on the story more. So I was looking forward to this one.

Kanji Wantanabe (Takashi Shimura) is a widowed bureaucrat working in the city centre public affairs department. He has worked everyday without a holiday for nearly 30 years when he discovers he has stomach cancer. Only when he's told he is going to die does he start to live. It takes a while to sink in until an encounter with a writer in a bar makes him think he wants to experience life for himself. That leaves him still wanting more so he tries a relationship with a young female colleague, however its not until Wantanbe realizes the secret to happiness in life may lie in the job he found so boring for all those years.

You may remember some of the gems from the world of Indian cinema we have included on here before.

Who could forget Indian Superman?

Regular Anorak City reader Almajir spotted this absolute corker..

Michelle Rodriguez has teased that new movie Machete may disturb some cinema-goers.

The 32-year-old actress excitedly spoke about the new Robert Rodriguez film ahead of a screening in LA.

"Oh my God, you'll have images that you never forget as long as you live!" she teased.

She laughed: "I don't know if that's good or bad?!"

The film is based on a fake trailer Rodriguez directed for his 2007 movie Grindhouse and sees Hollywood tough guy Danny Trejo play the lead.

Michelle isn't the only girl kicking butt in the film - Jessica Alba and Lindsay Lohan also star.

"[They're] awesome because they're strong, they're not just Hollywood," said Danny.

Lost is over, 24 is gone for good and Battlestar Gallactica is a distant memory so what should you Anorak City readers be watching now? Well over the next few weeks I'm looking to find some gems for you however in the meantime, if you havent already, you should catch up with Fringe.

The JJ Abrams project that mixes The X Files with elements of The Wire and CSI is definiately worth catching up on before it returns in October (Sky One HD). The series has got better as it's gone on and Series 3 looks like being even better. Catch up now on DVD and we can all discuss it together and get that Dharma community spirit back!

Rose Byrne refused to spill the beans on reports she'll be starring in the next X-Men movie as she attended a glitzy tea party in Los Angeles.

"Well, I feel like I don't want to get in trouble so I'm just not going to say anything," the actress teased at Bafta LA's exclusive event in Beverly Hills.

However, the Aussie star - who is reported to have signed up to play Dr Moira MacTaggert in Matthew Vaughn's X-Men: First Class - did confess to being a fan of the hit films.

"Yeah absolutely, but I'll refrain from commenting," she laughed.

Is Machete the new Rambo?

By Steve Wollaston on Sep 1, 10 08:50 AM

Machete could be the next Rambo, according to the film's co-director Ethan Maniquis.

"I think so," the filmmaker revealed at a special screening of the Robert Rodriguez movie in Los Angeles.

"I could see him kicking a** for many years to come!" Ethan said of Machete, played by tough guy character actor Danny Trejo.

"I always think that he's a Mexican Dirty Harry," he explained.

The film is based on a fake trailer Rodriguez directed for his 2007 movie Grindhouse.
